Running small but hot -
I picked these up a few weeks back and had to send back a different size. I'm a pretty strict 11 and I went to a 12. They fit great, look even better and I get compliments right and left.

Sambas -
Originally I ordered the size I usually wear, men’s 9. They were a little tight and snug so I then returned them for a man’s 10. These still didn't fit as well as another pair of Sambas that I have but I love the style and look of the shoes and I kept them. Briefly, I loved ordering from Zappos since I couldn't find those "old style" shoes anywhere. You made the purchase and exchange the easiest ever. I will be ordering again. You are the best!!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: love the old style looking sambas. Not a huge heavy shoe. I like that style.

Perfect!!! When I first opened the box I was in marvel about how wonderful these shoe looked, but as I put them on I noticed how stiff and hot they were, but I kept wearing them for about a week and sure enough, they became broken in. Tongue loosened up and the back became less of an issue, but they definitely became better. I don't know about the arch support because I have special inserts for all my shoes. The only remaining problem is the crease in the front part from the breaking in.

Cute -
I really like these shoes, they're very cute. There are two set-backs, they feel 1/2 size smaller than what they say they are and the back of the shoe rubs on the back of your ankle for awhile (until you break it in). Just an FYI.

Another adi classic done right -
The 1980s samba gets a nice treatment here with a clean, low profile and small tongue. I got the blue / gold combo and was surprised it actually felt a half size larger than normal, perhaps due to the suede having more give than leather. The tread grips really well but the outsole is thinner than the gazelles - thus it feels minimal but adequate in terms of support. They look really sharp with jeans and the color ways are all spot on (except maybe that 'vapor' one). Zappos service is excellent; I've purchased, returned and exchanged with no problems and quick delivery every time. A must for any adi sneakerhead.

What a wonderful, classy, and comfortable shoe to own. I wore these on my daughter's wedding day last week, and did a lot of running around, and dancing in this shoe. J. Renee been doing her thing for years now. I own many pairs of her shoes. The color (Argento) with patent was perfect for my Mother of the Bride outfit. I was happy to have made this choice, and for the second time> very happy with Zappos expedited shipping methods!

These shoes were a bit uncomfortable at first, but they break in. I got the white with blue stripes and put black shoelaces in them, and they couldn’t look better! Also fit EXACTLY true to size.

Very good gripping, design different from the usual but very hot inside. Could have a better breathe system, in less than 1 hour your feet are sweating.

I had these shoes for about two weeks. I was impressed by their look in person. When I put them on, I noticed how stiff the tongue was. It was so stiff it was actually breaking the skin of my foot where it touches me. I had to pull up my short socks so the shoe wouldn't touch me. The shoes also give almost no support and I had to put in insoles because my feet were hurting from walking around campus.

Sweet Sambas -
Yet another shoe success scored from Zappos! I love the look of these and have received so many compliments on the color (green and white). The only reason why I rated them a 4 in comfort is because the leather upper is still quite stiff and the heel is rather high and rubs against my Achilles a little. Over time, I know they will relax and become as comfortable as my old Sambas.

These are great shoes, but I found it uncomfortable to walk in them for more than a couple of hours, as they have no arch support and very little cushioning. Apart from that, though, they're very comfy shoes.

These shoes a very good, if not the best I have. They are very stylish, comfortable, and have excellent arch support. For all you soccer players out there I highly recommend these. GO CHARGERS!

Adidas Original Sambas -
Very cool looking Original Adidas! Very comfortable, nice colors, cool style etc...
MAY look a bit like a bowling shoe in my opinion, but in the end its just first negative thoughts, they are absolutely FINE! May feel a half size smaller if wearing sports socks... if you wear thin socks they fit perfectly. And if you are very wide footed you might want to buy a half size bigger to a full size bigger, but otherwise it’ll stretch a tiny bit.

They run smaller than Samba Classics -
Great looking shoe - a Samba that doesn't have the large tongue of the classic and available in more color combinations than the traditional white over black. Be warned though that these - in my Men's 10 1/2, at least - run half a size smaller than the standard Samba Classic soccer shoe. I went from a 10 1/2 Classic to the same size in these, and I think I'm going to send them back for some 11s.

I kept these in my closet for a long time hoping that I could bring myself to wear them. They are SOOO cute on, but they are also SOOO very uncomfortable. The strap across the top of the foot is just killer and the leather in the toebox doesn't give at all. I am willing to suffer for beauty up to a certain point, but I just couldn't do it for these. It breaks my heart.
